Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it, read what some of our customers have to say about Gotham Veterinary Center.

When my husband Don and I first brought our cat, Magic, in for a consultation with Dr. Brown, we were at once impressed by Dr. Brown’s genuine concern, thoroughness, and the care she took to address our concerns and to communicate clearly. Our immediate take was that Veterinary medicine to Dr. Brown is not just a profession; it is a calling.

During our last visit, we were consistently impressed by the attitude and courtesy of the entire staff. Obviously, the tone is set at the top by Dr. Brown. There is a pervasive understanding of how important the relationship is between the owners and their pets. The staff recognizes that bond, and both patients and owners are treated with the utmost consideration.

Our entire experience with the Gotham Veterinary Center has been positive in every respect. We cannot thank Dr. Brown and the entire staff enough. Don and I feel fortunate indeed to have found a place where we know Magic will always receive the very best care.

We appreciate Dr. Carbonell’s attentive, expert, compassionate and level-headed medical care. Max always perks up as soon as we turn the corner onto Columbus Avenue, and pulls eagerly to go in. Once inside, he’s happy as a clam and always in a great mood for the walk home. In the three years we’ve been going to Gotham, I’ve never seen an unhappy animal in the waiting room. Fortunately we haven’t had a real crisis, but if we ever do we’re lucky to have Gotham.

As a new pet owner, finding a good vet is very important part of the process. I’ve found that at Gotham Veterinary and Dr. Davis. Dr. Davis always has a friendly, positive demeanor when we come to visit. Roxy actually enjoys her trips to the vet’s office. The thing I appreciate the most about working with Dr. Davis is her genuine concern for Roxy. Over the past year, Roxy hass experienced several different issues. It doesn’t matter what day or time, if I send Dr. Davis and email asking for assistance, she always quick to respond. Roxy and I continue to look forward to working with her!

We have a 70 pound bull terrier, Benny, whose crippling arthritis was no longer responding to pain relievers and anti-inflammatories. When Dr. Brown and Canine Rehab of New York suggested Platelet-Rich Plasma injections, I admit I was a little dubious. But the treatment has given Benny a new life. His range of motion has improved dramatically and he can now go up and down stairs by himself. He’s even eager to walk, something that his pain prevented him from enjoying for so long. We are grateful that Dr. Brown suggested the PRP treatment and for the wonderful and competent staff who took such good care of him.

My friends and neighbors, also long-term clients of Gotham, referred me 15 years ago. Dr. Carbonell and the excellent staff have seen my beloved cats through all the stages of their life. And Gotham was there to see Emma gently out of this world when she was overtaken by cancer. I can’t put into words how much all their consideration and kindness to us has meant. My fearful, cranky Igor gets a lot of wonderful care and understanding. And whenever it’s time to see him out of this world, I know Gotham will be there for us — with great love.
